Weekly Bulletin on Solar and Geomagnetic Activity
              Highlights on 08- 14.01.2018,
               Forecast on 15 - 22.01.2018,
          Carrington Rotation 2199 (30,94.12.2017)
          Earth above the ecliptic (0.6 - 0.1) deg. 
             (S30 - N30 is geoeffectiveness zone)

SUNSPOT-FORMING ACTIVITY WAS ON THE VERY LOW LEVEL AND THE SUN 
WAS SPOTLESS AFTER 12.01 (6 - IN 2018). THE ESTIMATED, MOST LI-
KELY WEEKLY AVERAGE VALUE OF THE RELATIVE SUNSPOT NUMBER  IN THE 
INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM (old) FOR THE PERIOD W= 004+4/-4 (Wn= 007+5
/-5). ON THE VISIBLE SOLAR DISK ONE SMALL AND QUITE SUNSPOT GROUP 
HAVE BEEN OBSERVED.

NEXT WEEK THE LEVEL OF SUNSPOT ACTIVITY WITH HIGH PROBABILITY WILL
BE ON THE VERY LOW LEVEL. LIKELY WEEKLY AVERAGE VALUE OF THE RELA-
TIVE SUNSPOT NUMBER IN THE INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM (old) FOR THE NEXT 
WEEK IS W = 010+10/-10.  

THE FLARE ACTIVITY WAS AT THE VERY LOW LEVEL.NO EJECTION OF SOLAR
FILAMENT AND CORONAL MASS EJECTION HAVE BEEN OBSERVED.

Earth's environment. G(0-5)-geoeffectivity in last solar rotation on
the middle latitudes. A-active geomagnetic condition.

AFTER 02.12/17 UT THE EARTH IS IN "+" SECTOR OF THE INTERPLANETARY MAG-
NETIC FIELD. NEXT SECTOR BOUNDARY +/- EARTH SHOULD BE PASSED 0N 16.01.
